I've seen some stupid things on CSI, some twisted laws, some serious abuses of search and seizure, miranda, and physics. But all that paled before the stupidity of Monday night's SCI: Miami. For those who didn't watch it, it involved a murder aboard a spaceplane... in Low Earth Orbit. I've got just one question for the show's writers... Since when does LEO qualify as Miami / Dade jurisdiction? The murder, an act the other three passengers/crew undertook because there wasn't enough oxygen for all 4 to survive, which would be considered self defense in any court in the world, didn't even take place on Earth, and since UN treaties effectively bare Earth Nations from claiming property in space, would probably be an Federal matter... at the very least. As the first murder in space, it would be the most sensational and controversial case of the century. But no, its all handled as if Miami PD has the faintest right to conduct the investigation or has any right to try the case.
Morons.
